Its been a long time...

World Cup has ended and I wonder what everyone is doing now...

I am still in touch with some of the dragonflies especially Pam and Beng Kok (actually, he changed his name to Beng Guan now... email him to find out more... hee). Pam's been busy so we dun get to talk too much too.

I guess that is life. We all become too busy... have you wondered why we are all busy for.

A mother once shared with me. I work so hard i.e. leave home before son wakes up and comes home when son is asleep so that i can provide the best for my son. But she hardly sees the son and even though the school wanted the son to provide a paper file, he was unable to provide as his mother never got round to buying it for him... dun even have time to go shopping to buy things...

Let's revisit the statement... "I want the best for my son". Now, now, what is giving the best for someone? Think abt it.

Sigh...

Dragonflies Met

On a rainy friday, 28th Apr 06, the dragonflies met up to catch up. Well, almost all lah. Except our youngest member who incidentally have not completed her Mod 2. Xiao Mei, pls complete it.

We had a great time catching up and challenging each other forward. It was great to relive the spirit of Whoooooooshhhhhhh! Those who have not been meeting up and want to meet up with others from Whoosh 17... let me know... we will plan something for you all... :) specially from the dragonflies.

We miss you all....

Dragonfly3.

Support Radiah... Support Children in Need!

My dear family,

How are all of you?? Still striving for the top? YAY!!!! I can’t wait to come back to Singapore this June to meet up with all of you again!

As for me… I have been training these past 3 months for my first EVER marathon… the Flora London Marathon on April 23rd 2006. That’s just a little bit more than a week away! I intend to make the experience a worthwhile one, which is also the reason why I am running in support of Children in Crisis.

So.. I urge you to find the child inside yourself and dig deep in your hearts to sponsor me.
Click here!:

I seek your help in providing an opportunity for children who lack such basic things such as a roof over their heads, education, 3 meals in a day..

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Children in Crisis will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.So you can either pay upon my completion or sponsor me now! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. Every little bit counts. You guys RAWK!!

Much love,
Radiah xx

FOCUS, BALANCE, Keep Moving!

I was reminded of these 3 important words while watching TV and seeing the advert on SUMO... its be a motivational speaker... ehhh... what's his name??? anyway, it means, Shut Up, Move on! Have you come across, many people who keeps talking abt the past and never moved on... well, we all are guilty of that some time or other... so I was reminded of the 3 magical words that got us past tough times...

As I am typing this post, I am sending out positive thots to all Whoosh 17 participants, esp asking all of you to read this blog. (I wonder how many people come back here nowadays.. Sara, Meng, Beng Kok, Dragonfly, yooo hooo.... where is everyone?)

Most of us have moved on and I am sure many have continue to practice NLP... those who seem a little lost, just go back and read your notes... you will picked it up immediately...

Ok, anyone that drop by, pls click on the comments area and leave a comment. It won't take more than 1 min. Let see how many comments we get.

Tammy... oh ... Tammy

Looks like the issue on Tammy is not slowing down or stopping... For those who are still clueless... she from NYP... anyway, it shows us the power of the internet and it shows the new power of the new medias... internet, blogs and mobile phone... the trend? these 3 things are gonna get closer to each other... well, for those who dun know, stuart has a site www.internetmarketingsingapore.com which talks more abt these new mediums. The Tammy from NYP issue highlights the power of this medium vs the traditional newspaper... time frame now has swtich from daily to hourly or even minutely... think abt how that changes the world... audience change from local to international...

ok, since i know many of you travel a far to find Tammy... i shall treat you to a good lesson on husband store. I am sure many of you ladies would love to have such a store... enjoy...

HUSBAND STORE

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!

There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. . . . . .

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely
good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good
looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop dead
gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign
reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor number 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men
on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible
to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as
you exit the building, and have a nice day!



Gals, be honest, which floor did you stop???


*snigger snigger*
